The MM subsystem is trying to shrink struct page. This patchset
introduces a memory descriptor for page table tracking - struct ptdesc.
This patchset introduces ptdesc, splits ptdesc from struct page, and
converts many callers of page table constructor/destructors to use ptdescs.
Ptdesc is a foundation to further standardize page tables, and eventually
allow for dynamic allocation of page tables independent of struct page.
However, the use of pages for page table tracking is quite deeply
ingrained and varied across archictectures, so there is still a lot of
work to be done before that can happen.
This is rebased on next-20230626.
There is a minor conflict with patch 24 and the mm-unstable tree in
arch/m68k/mm/motorola.c - The end result of applying the patch should
be the same.
v6:
Fix compiler warnings/errors
v5:
More Acked-bys :)
Cleanup some documentation wording and formatting
Add pt_rcu_head to ptdesc
Add memcg to ptdesc (and align it with struct page)
Ensure all get_free_page() callers prohibit HIGHMEM for 32 bit support.
Renamed folio_{set, clear}_table() to folio_{set, clear}_pgtable()
Removed pagetable_clear() as it is not necessary right now
Dropped s390 _refcount to _pt_frag_refcount conversion
